Nor did I think you did; I was more or less echoing your sentiments.

People are often surprised to hear that my biggest problem with the
Bush Administration was the FCC, not [insert controversial thing which
I'm philosophically on the same page with W. about].  Remember BPL,
media ownership rule changes precipitating mega-consolidation,
indecency fine shenanigans, and the "broadcast flag"?

I don't think this is the "change" you were hoping for.
